About this interview: “The best journeys aren’t where you find yourself the best journey is where you find other people.” Johann Hari 
Our guest in this timeless episode is Johann Hari, the author of the New York Times bestseller: Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention, executive producer and Tedtalk speaker. His books have been translated into 40 languages, and been praised by a broad range of people including Noam Chomsky and Naomi Klein.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that grief and depression have the same symptoms. I think what depression is, in part is grief for your own needs not being met. – Johann Hari
Hari invites us to reconsider what it truly means to find ourselves, not as isolated beings, but as interconnected individuals whose happiness and healing emerge from shared experiences and mutual support. His ideas present a hopeful vision for addressing the growing crises of depression, anxiety, and comm-unity. This journey isn’t meant to be walked alone, we are here together.
This week’s timeless is from our archives, part of a beautiful and powerful conversation we had in episode 47 – Johann Hari on Depression, Addiction and Connection entitled Lost Connections: Finding Others Instead of Ourselves.
We hope that this timeless offers you a new way of looking at your life and how you spend your time.
